    Star Jalsha to launch new show ‘Bajlo Tomar Alor Benu’

    MUMBAI: Star Jalsha is all set to launch its new show Bajlo Tomar Alor Benu to usher in the festive feeling. 

    The show is an inspiring story of a talented girl, who makes a name for herself in the profession of idol making. Given that the festival celebrates the feminine divinity and spirit, it is ironic that the profession is largely male dominated. Against this backdrop, an orphan girl is being adopted and raised by a famous idol maker named Kalikrishna, who discovers her love for sculpting and idol making. He gives her shelter, mentors her and supports her in nurturing her dream.

    The show will be produced under the banner of Agnidev Chatterjee Productions. According to Chatterjee, who is the producer and director of the show, “This show is very close to my heart. I am extremely excited to work on such an uplifting story on such a popular platform of Star Jalsha. We have put in a lot of passion into putting this show together and are hopeful that our audiences will find it interesting.”

    The lead character name is Minu and will be played by Shyamoupti Mudly, while Kalikrishna’s role is being essayed by Sanjeev Dasgupta. The show hosts many popular artists from the television and theatre world like Kushal Chakraborty, Arjun Chakraborty, Deboleena Dutta, Anushree Das, and Bhashwar Chatterjee in different roles.

    Commenting on the show, Sudipa Chatterjee, the screenplay and dialogue writer for this show said, “This is a story that I have wanted to tell for a long time. I believe that Minu shall convey a very strong and inspiring message to a large section of women who are striving to create their identity, despite all odds.”

    Bajlo Tomar Alor Benu will premiere on 20 August and will come on air everyday at 6 pm.
